SPEAKERS FOR GROUPS

We have speakers for your group.

The Speakers Bureau of the Wichita Bar Association was formed to act as a liaison between Wichita and the surrounding communities and the Bar Association membership in providing speakers. The Bureau matches up your area of interest with an attorney willing to share his/her knowledge.

The Wichita Bar Association was formed in 1915 and has over 1300 attorneys and judges as members. We invite you to take advantage of their experience in all areas of law--a service provided at no cost to your group.

What kind of options are available to deal with health care decisions?

Are court-appointed attorneys available to everyone?

I found a leak in my basement--who is responsible--me or the seller?

Topics are in no way restricted to the questions listed. If the topic is related to our laws or legal system, we have a speaker for you. Please allow us two weeks to make the arrangements. Remember: This service is provided at no cost to your group.

WE DO MORE THAN TALK

Find A Lawyer Service

The purpose of the Wichita Bar Association Find a Lawyer service is to assist the public by providing a way in which an individual, who can afford to pay for legal services, can be connected to a lawyer in Sedgwick and surrounding counties in Kansas. The Find a Lawyer service is a public service of the Wichita Bar Association.

Grow Your Own Lawyer Program

Minority high school juniors and seniors who have an interest in pursuing a career in the law are matched with lawyers/mentors. The long-term goal of the program is that those students who pursue a career in law will return to the Wichita area to practice. Click here to find out more about the Grow Your Own Lawyer Program.

Summer Intern Program

Law Day Activities

On about May 1 of each year the WBA, along with other bar associations across the country, celebrates Law Day. Attorneys respond to over 200 speaker requests from teachers at local elementary, middle and high schools during the month surrounding Law Day and throughout the year.

WBA Members Volunteer

WBA members are volunteers, board members and officers in over 50 local charitable organizations. Members also support our schools, churches and the arts by tutoring, refereeing sports and singing in the Wichita Symphony. They have scraped and painted local homes for the Mennonite Housing Repair Affair and cleaned and painted playground equipment.
